title: Accessibility issues with long-term disabilities.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Home modifications for barrier-free accessibility will assist the physically challenged populations by increasing their independence.
  By providing an accessible environment, an individual can become more independent and require less assistance for functional activities, such as kitchen appliance access, door widening, open floor plan, elevated electric outlets, roll-under sinks, roll-in showers and MobiLife elevating wheelchair.
